Some of my users can barely speak English... let alone a "second" language!

Thats the advantage of beeing in a country with tree offical languages and
the EC in Brussels...
I used to work for a company whom shipped computers/terminal in as many
languages as the EC exists of countries.....
My job was to prepare them...
And not to forget as many different keyboards  too...
 
I now have customers working in 4 languages.... English (Int),  Dutch,
French and 1 German...
I know most of the menu's in office by heart in 3 languages....when giving
suport by phone...

I must say I thought it was as Erwin describes. The language setting
dictates keyboard entry but not the display of Windows itself.

You can change the language settings in there, I'm sure - the first tab is
"Language"...

No no
 
Thats only for country specific things like date number format, GMT time
offset etc....
 
Forgot something. English international is not the same as American English.
I believe US version is more lightweighted and has less international
support.
I'm not sure, but I wonder if a US version will permit you to set the
regional settings to Germany for example?

Andy
 
Is it not in the default language settings? Control Panels/Regional
settings? I've not got much experience of XP, but you can certainly do that
in 2K.

A question for one of you continental European guys.

If one was to buy a WXP laptop from,say, a German seller and give that to an
English speaker, is there any way of changing the display of system
messages, option names etc to all be in English? Or would one have to buy
and install a UK copy of WXP?
